Latham Steel is a trusted manufacturer and supplier based in Hamilton, New Zealand, specializing in high-performance Nicrodur 450 sheets and plates. These products are crafted for applications that demand outstanding wear resistance and strength. Nicrodur 450 is a quenched and tempered steel known for its remarkable toughness, durability, and long-lasting performance in tough environments. Latham Steel guarantees precise thickness control, stable mechanical properties, and consistent surface quality, all while adhering to strict industrial standards. These plates are commonly utilized in industries that face heavy impact, abrasion, and mechanical stress, making them a reliable choice for enduring, cost-effective performance in challenging working conditions.
Nicrodur 450 steel is made with a blend of carbon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and other elements that boost its hardness and abrasion resistance. It typically boasts a nominal hardness of about 450 HBW, along with impressive tensile strength and excellent impact toughness. The steel is treated through quenching and tempering, which refines its microstructure, enhancing wear resistance and its ability to withstand cracking under heavy loads. Despite its hardness, Nicrodur 450 remains weldable with the right techniques and delivers stable performance in situations involving repeated impacts, sliding wear, and abrasive materials.
